Good overview of the show, mentioning a lot of the artwork that's in the 
exhibit, and the companion CD.

> In a way, what's most interesting about this show is not what you see 
> but what you don't -- all the art that wasn't made, all the pieces that 
> weren't attempted, because a musician or a filmmaker or a painter or a 
> poet knew that to do so would mean endless legal battles and possible 
> financial ruin.

> If Public Enemy, which has the resources to fight egregious copyright 
> claims, doesn't make music like it used to because it's just too much 
> trouble, think of how many other people there must be who are holding 
> their tongues -- because to say anything new and interesting would 
> simply cost too much.
